Idaho's hardworking U.S. Senator Jim Risch, the ranking Republican member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, traveled to Kyiv, Ukraine. The senator met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Senator Risch shared his thoughts on his visit in a press release.

"It was an honor to meet with President Zelenskyy this weekend to discuss the ongoing Russian assault against Ukraine. I’ve been in many war zones, but I’ve never been to one where I’ve seen people rebuilding as the war continues. The Ukrainian people are incredibly resilient, endlessly adaptable, and courageously willing to fight. We cannot let them down."

The senator continued to remind Americans how important our aid to Ukraine is in making a difference.  He toured the country including visiting the cities of Kyiv, Irpin, and Hostomel.
